The Reds Had Saturday's game won and blew it then didn't look competitive at all on Sunday vs the visiting Boston Red Sox. It is yet another frustrating series for the team after a nice start to June. After Sunday's loss, the Reds now sit at 36-41 and last in the NL Central. This has us wondering, why this team continues to go so up and down, and is it too late to believe this team can turn it around with 3 full months of games left? Tim and Ben try to discuss these topics as well as the struggl...

Once again, the Reds lose a series to the Brewers for the 8th consecutive set. On Sunday the Reds had a 3-0 lead over their NL Central Rivals and still managed to blow the lead with a 5-4 deficit.

Well, this was a week you'd like never to remember again as the Reds won 1 of their 6 games and struggled a lot vs an elite team in Baltimore.

But the beauty is, they can get right back on track this week when the defending NL Champs, Arizona Diamondbacks come to town. Tim and Ben painstakingly discuss this week of Reds Baseball and l...
